The use of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 as an antiproliferative agent in the treatment of cancer is limited by its hypercalcemic effects. Analogues with equivalent or greater antiproliferative activities but smaller hypercalcemic effects have been developed. The antiproliferative effects of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 and four analogues were studied in HT-29 and SW620 human colon cancer cell lines, moderate and low expressors of the vitamin D receptor, respectively. HT-29 is a primary, moderately differentiated, cell line, while SW620 is metastatic and poorly differentiated. Growth curve studies, proliferation assays, and clonogenic assays were used to assess the antiproliferative effects of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3, 1,25-dihydroxy-16-ene-23-yne-D3, 1,25-dihydroxy-26,27-hexafluoro-16-ene-23-yne-D3, 1,25-dihydroxy-16,23E-diene-26,27-hexafluoro-D3, and 1,25-dihydroxy-16,23Z-diene-26,27-hexafluoro-D3. Growth of HT-29 cells was significantly inhibited by all four analogues at 10(-8) M (P < 0.05). Analogues 1,25-dihydroxy-26,27-hexafluoro-16-ene-23-yne-D3, 1,25-dihydroxy-16,23E-diene-26,27-hexafluoro-D3, and 1,25-dihydroxy-16,23Z-diene-26,27-hexafluoro-D3 were 2 times as potent as analogue 1,25-dihydroxy-16-ene-23-yne-D3 and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3. SW620 cells did not show any growth inhibition with any of the compounds tested. The affinities of the three most potent analogues for the vitamin D receptor were similar to that of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3, while that of analogue 1,25-dihydroxy-16-ene-23-yne-D3 was lower. These results demonstrate that, as in leukemic cells, analogues of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 are potent antiproliferative agents in colon cancer cells and this activity is most likely mediated through the vitamin D receptor.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D002117 Calcitriol The physiologically active form of vitamin D. It is formed primarily in the kidney by enzymatic hydroxylation of 25-hydroxycholecalciferol (CALCIFEDIOL). Its production is stimulated by low blood calcium levels and parathyroid hormone. Calcitriol increases intestinal absorption of calcium and phosphorus, and in concert with parathyroid hormone increases bone resorption. 1 alpha,25-Dihydroxycholecalciferol,1 alpha,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3,1, 25-(OH)2D3,1,25(OH)2D3,1,25-Dihydroxycholecalciferol,1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3,1 alpha, 25-dihydroxy-20-epi-Vitamin D3,1,25(OH)2-20epi-D3,1,25-dihydroxy-20-epi-Vitamin D3,20-epi-1alpha,25-dihydroxycholecaliferol,Bocatriol,Calcijex,Calcitriol KyraMed,Calcitriol-Nefro,Decostriol,MC-1288,MC1288,Osteotriol,Renatriol,Rocaltrol,Silkis,Sitriol,Soltriol,Tirocal,1 alpha,25 Dihydroxyvitamin D3,1,25 Dihydroxycholecalciferol,1,25 Dihydroxyvitamin D3,1,25 dihydroxy 20 epi Vitamin D3,Calcitriol Nefro,D3, 1 alpha,25-Dihydroxyvitamin,D3, 1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin,D3, 1,25-dihydroxy-20-epi-Vitamin,KyraMed, Calcitriol,MC 1288
